Why Is Granite the Best Countertop Material?

At Granite Works, we always get asked why we think granite is the best countertop material. The fact is, there are many benefits in using this material, ranging from its great similarity to natural stone to its affordability and sustainability. No wonder many of our clients choose to go with this material – there are so many reasons to love this material.

Granite Countertops Always Look Good

There’s no question that granite looks great. And, the best part is that it comes in a variety of colors that can easily match your home. To find the best kind of granite, ask your contractor for a slab sample. This will help you see if the color you’ve chosen works with your redesign.

Granite Is More Affordable Than Other Materials

The cost of granite may vary depending on how much you need, but cheap granite countertops are available from suppliers like Granite Works. Granite slabs that are in serviceable condition can be reused with just a little bit of clean up. 

Granite Is Reusable

Granite is a sustainable material. You can utilize used granite slabs. An old granite table, for example, can be your material for a newer and smaller table. Your contractor will fashion your new table from the old one and clean the material to make it look brand new.

Granite Is Easy to Clean

Granite countertops are very easy to clean. The sealant that manufacturers use can preserve the natural color of the countertop material. This sealant will also prevent stains. In the event that stains do develop, common household products can clean the stains.
